My guest this week is New York rapper Salimata. We spoke about Frankenstein, the Puppet Master movies, The Departed, why she prefers movies that have bad or sad endings to happy endings, how she’s come to appreciate French film since she’s moved to France, starting rapping in the Tumblr era, linking with MIKE and 10k, refining her style, and the creative process behind her latest album The Happening, out now on 10k Global. Come fuck with us.

The Happening is available wherever music is sold, streamed, or stolen. Consider copping directly from Salimata's Bandcamp. Follow Salimata on Instagram (@eet_it_off_me) and Twitter (@eat_it_offme).

My first book, Reel Notes: Culture Writing on the Margins of Music and Movies, is available now, via 4 PM Publishing. Order a digital copy on Amazon.
